Eee PC

I'm rather taken by the 0.92kg Asus Eee PC. The Eee PC is what they call an UMPC, or Ultra Mobile PC. It is light (my Macbook is 2.45kg), supposedly shock-proof, has wi-fi, and lets you access your documents and gmail. It runs on Linux.

I love my Mac, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I just want something really portable that I can stick in my bag and go for a cycle. It is also going at a decent price — $598 for the 4GB model; although if I were to get it, I would upgrade it to at least 8GB. Popagandhi got one in Taiwan.

The only thing holding me back? iCal. I will need iCal in my UMPC. As my ex-colleagues said over lunch, "She runs her life from her Macbook!" Which is true.

Can anyone figure out how I can get iCal on the Linux-running Eee PC? I'll buy you lunch. :)
